Brush the dough with butter, sprinkle the dough evenly with brown sugar, follow by cinnamon powder then raisains, leaving 1/2-inch border.Press the filling frimly into the dough.

Starting at a long side, roll the dough, pressing lightly, to form a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal. Slice the dough into pieces (9-10 pieces)

Place the slices in big muffin paper cup and onto the pan, or you can used grease pan. Cover the buns and let it rise until double in size (it takes another 30-40 min) Brush the buns with some egg wash.
